Summary

This study followed 221 overweight or obese women and their children for 8 to 10 years after a previous trial where some women exercised during pregnancy. Researchers want to see if exercise during pregnancy improves metabolic health, like blood sugar and body weight, in mothers and their kids over the long term. The study is observational and does not test a new treatment.
